Sheikh Mohammed also said that the Cabinet approved the formation of the Emirates Entrepreneurship Council and a fund worth Dh300 million was allocated to support youth projects and encourage and motivate them to enter the field of entrepreneurship.
The Emirates Entrepreneurship Council will be headed by Alia Al Mazrouei.
"Our country is blessed, its goodness is widespread and great, and its economic movement benefits everyone, far and near. We want our youth to benefit from this tremendous economic movement, understand the foundations of excellence in it, exploit the great opportunities it provides, and lead this movement to greater and broader horizons…," he said.
The Cabinet also approved the national policy for preserving the country’s modern architectural heritage. The policy will focus on developing plans to preserve the cultural, national and historical importance of urban facilities and buildings that have come to constitute the country’s architectural identity.
Around 130 sites and buildings have been approved currently and this will increase to 1,000 sites in the coming years, Sheikh Mohammed said.
Other decisions include approving the governance system for the Education, Human Development and Community Council, headed by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and Deputy Sheikha Mariam bint Mohammed bin Zayed.
It includes seven members from the Ministers, executive and specialised committees, and sectoral committees for higher education, private education, and the social sector.
The final Cabinet meeting of the year was chaired by Sheikh Mohammed at Qasr Al Watan
"A good year for the best people... A good year led by the best president... A good year with the efforts of the best and largest dedicated national team... And what is coming is better, more beautiful and greater, God willing, in 2025," Sheikh Mohammed added on X.
